Siop Shop

I was on a quick trip to Manchester for a gig, and a friend of mine told me to visit this coffeeshop, and honestly? It is now my turn to highly recommend this place. The staff is friendly and the coffee tasted DELICIOUS. If you love great coffee, this coffeeshop should definitely be on your list. Also how cute is this flatwhite mug??? Their colorful decoration is so cute and definitely sparks some inspiration. Wish I'd brought my sketchbook. If I stayed in Manchester longer, I'm sure I could spend entire days here. Also, I've never been much of a donut fan as I don't really like sweet things, yet I still tried out their tiramisu donut and I am not disappointed. It is so perfectly balanced. They also have a selection of savoury snacks so I took a sandwich to go. Looking forward to eating it already!

We had a lovely visit to Siop Shop this morning. The doughnuts were delicious (we had apple fritters and pistachio cream). Hibiscus iced tea was lovely, and filter coffee got a great review from my husband. (Not a coffee drinker personally, but he says it's tricky to make filter coffee that tastes delicious so kudos to the staff!) The interior is funky and the seating area super cute.

It's disappointing there aren't more vegan options. I did ask about an ingredients list with regards to the non vegan options and was told they don't have one. I wasn't expecting them to, but it would have been nice. Regardless, the Coffee Donut was very appetising. The Iced Latte that helped wash it down was also very good. I've knocked down one star due to the fact that the indoor seating area isn't very welcoming, featuring fairly uncomfortable and weird looking seating. They do have an outdoor seating area which is a lot nicer. Prices are very high for what you get and they have the gall to ask for tips when you're paying an already steep price. Tips should be based on the overall service, not before you've even tried the food.
